If we get better opportunity here like in any other country, what it the harm in letting us work? Remittance is the second largest source of our national income is not it? Yes there have been cases of sex workers and escorts and abuse. However this was because the women were put into places of work where they were not able to voice their opinions, practice their rights. Instead of putting restrictions for women to travel, I think the government should rather form a proper evaulation procedure to check the status of employment, the skill level of the women leaving the country. The whole business of foreign employment has it’s darker side. But if we could streamline it, reduce the corruption, the fake papers and fake visas, Nepal could only benefit by it.

I have been living, working and doing weekend degree course. I have been living here for past four years and i have come across so many inspiring Nepalese women. All of them in respectable jobs, respectable life, family etc. People need to educate themselves and change their attitude about ‘Gulf Countries’ after all the two top economic growth has been in KSA and UAE this year. It is land of opportunity, if we can use it wisely.

Btw, it will be equally confusing to find out who to tell dai, or bhai or uncle or whatever. calling everyone by their name and addressing them as “you” is much simpler and respectful. this is coming from a nepali guy.

But currently reading Baburam Acharya’s Shree 5 Prithvi Narayan Shah ko Sankchipta Jivani and it is a fantastic read. It gives you a glimpse of Nepal that existed 300 years go.

i’m jus always very confused as to why they dress like that. i’ve never seen them dressed like that in the west!
